Bound Brook streets to reopen

More than two weeks after the nor'easter flooded downtown Bound Brook, nearly all streets will reopen at 5 tonight, police said.

The only exception, according to local authorities, will be the emergency bridge repair on Mountain Avenue between Route 28 and East High Street.

Intermittent traffic delays and temporary road closures are expected to continue during day-time hours for debris removal, police said. Officials advise that debris should not be left in the street for pickup. Instead, debris can be left between the curb and sidewalks, according to a statement released by the town this afternoon.

Officials also announced that Bound Brook's NJ Transit station will reopen tomorrow and resume a normal commuter schedule. The first train to rolls into the station will be the 5404 at 5:02 a.m., heading to Newark and New York, an NJ Transit spokesman said.
